The devil hears him and condemns him to sail for eternity, unless he can find a woman who will love him faithfully unto death. Once every seven years, the Dutchman is allowed to dock and go ashore to search for a woman who will be true to him forever.

Conceived at The Peabody, born in Memphis, raised in Blytheville, Ark., and since then a citizen of Hollywood and the world, movie and TV star George Hamilton returned to his home town last week to promote his new book, a witty and self-deprecating memoir titled "Don't Mind If I Do," published two weeks ago by Touchstone/ Simon & Schuster.
